As I said, it supports the server sending it spuriously. Trust me, that's 
important. We had quite a few unit test failure where the check failed because 
an unexpected 100 was received.

But you can't request it. As I also said, the feature is useless. There's no 
way to get an information from the server whether the request will be 
honoured. You'd have to do a timeout, which just introduces delays and still 
doesn't solve the problem due to network delays.

If you need to upload 100 MB, request that QNAM not buffer the data. If the 
upload fails because the server or a proxy server (or both) request 
authentication, you have to send again.
